18 Saving a Network Project File This step saves the current settings as a network project file and reloads to 'Pro-Server EX'. Refer to "25 Saving" for details about saving a network project file. 'Pro-Server EX' reads a created network project file, and then executes ACTION according to the settings in the file. The settings therefore need be saved in the network project file. Be sure to reload the network project file to 'Pro-Server EX' If not, ACTION will not work. Path of network project file : Desktop\capture.npx Title : JPEG upload action Transferring a Network Project File This step loads a saved network project file to 'Pro-Server EX' and then transfers to entry nodes. Refer to "26 Transferring" for details about transferring a network project file. Be sure to transfer a network project file. If not, ACTION will not work. Pro-Server EX Reference Manual 11-18

19 Executing ACTION This step verifies that enabling a trigger condition activates ACTION and saves GP capture data in the specified location. To capture the GP screen, turn ON the bit 0 for LS2076 in the GP. While capturing, the bit 0 for LS2077 is turned ON. It is turned OFF when capturing finishes. If error occurs, you can check the log in the Log Viewer. For more details, refer to "28.5 Monitoring System Event Logs". If you want to achieve faster communication during ACTION, refer to "29 Tips for Faster Communication". This is the end of the explanation of this ACTION. Pro-Server EX Reference Manual 11-19
